A couple of heat cycles is fine just be sure it completely cools and change fluid at 1-200 miles or when ever you get home and hold off on the heavy towing for 5-600 miles. What size tires do you have using 4.10's?

305/45/22 = 32.8 right now, I am going to 33" on my new wheels/tire setup, and they will be very heavy. My truck has 3.08 in now and it's not terrible, but I know it can be alot better. Was thinking 3.73, but want more power. I dont do much highway driving with my chevy, I mostly use my F350 for towing/out-of-town trips.

Can you get a break down of the parts they are using for the rear please. Reason I ask is you and I both have the 9.76" rear end not the 9.5" and I can not find a single shop in my area that has changed the gears on 6.2L or is willing to do so. I'm wanting to get 4.10's or possibly 4.56's.

I don't know the break down in parts, they said that all I'll have are my axles every thing else will be new, the company that did my lift kit and body lift will be doing the gears, they are B&C off road they are also known as 3rd Coat Suspension the number is 713-946-0600 if you want to call them and get the break down in parts ect

I'd bet they don't know you got 9.76 or they may be bumping you down to a 9.5 since they are changing carrier, if that's even possible. May be a non issue for you but I'd definitely get details.

It ought to be real PEPPY with the 4.10's!

Thanks, I'm going to be calling them later today to see what they say. I'm hoping I can either get a list of the parts needed for the swap or at least be able to purchase the parts from them.

Any update? Have they re-geared the truck yet? I haven't had a chance to call yet/keep forgetting.

I am quite happy with my 4.10's.

What did you have in there before? Also, how much did total parts and install run you?

I don't have a total price I got a little jumbled up when I ordered the wrong parts at first. Also I bought an already geared front diff.

 

 

 

My truck came with 3.08's. It required a new carrier in the front and the rear so I installed a tru-track

I gotchya. Well from what I've read, one can estimate to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $2K. Does that sound like a fair estimate?

 

How are the 4.10's working out for you? What types of MPG's are you seeing?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
